It is a busy night at the emergency room and the ICU is down to two open beds. At two in the morning, the ambulance pulls up to the emergency room door with three patients who had been involved in a shoot-out.
Apparently, a sting operation had gone bad during a drug deal, and an undercover policeman and two drug dealers had been wounded. All three men appear to be in critical condition and need the services of the ICU.
Consider how you would decide which of the three men receive the ICU beds.
Given that the policeman was hurt in the line of duty, is this a time when social utility is an appropriate method for micro-allocation of scarce resources?
